The first chart shows the daily SPX (black line and right scale) and the NYSE Oscillator (NYMO) 50-day MA (blue line and left scale). Previous patterns indicate when the NYMO 50-day MA falls below negative 20, then a bottom will be in place and SPX will be in position for a sustainable rally. Currently, the NYMO 50-day MA is negative 15 1/2 and the daily NYMO is negative 15. So, the daily NYMO will have to stay below negative 15 1/2 for sufficient time and levels to bring the NYMO 50-day MA below negative 20.

The vertical line in the first chart shows April 2005 technical indicators are in somewhat similiar positions compared to current indicators. In March and April 2005, SPX fell from the high at 1,229 to the low at 1,136, from early-March to late-April, before starting the uptrend. Over the current downtrend, SPX fell from the high at 1,326 in early-May to a low at 1,235 last week. The similarities indicate SPX could trade between 1,230 and 1,260 for one to three weeks and then the NYMO 50-day MA may be in position for a SPX bottom. Also, the NYSI (below price chart) may fall into position for a SPX rally.

The second chart is an SPX monthly chart that shows the monthly middle Bollinger Band, currently 1,228 1/2, has held throughout the recent cyclical bull market. Consequently, a fall below that level may indicate a greater fall and the start of a cyclical bear market. Below the price chart is the monthly MACD, which gave a bearish crossover last week. However, the crossover is valid only if it closes the month bearish. Above the price chart is the monthly Money Flow, which remains positive, although has deteriorated, which may indicate the tail-end of the cyclical bull market.

It seems most likely SPX will hold the monthly middle Bollinger Band and begin a summer rally in June. Currently, SPX is in the second longest period in history without at least a 9% correction (1,206 is a 9% decline from 1,326). Also, the current cyclical bull market, within the structural bear market that began in 2000, is of above average length. However, it seems, a 9% or more correction and the end of the cyclical bull market will more likely take place at another time, perhaps this fall or in the first half of 2007.
